Changing the WorldTwo by Two A gift to Heifer International is an extraordinary opportunity for you to change the world. Gift ark: $5,000 The Gift Ark goes around the world—Latin America, Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. Wherever we find hunger, poverty and hopelessness, we answer with Heifer animals and training. What does this generous gift mean? It means… oxen, donkeys and water buffalo… cows, sheep and goats… even bees, chicks, and rabbits and more… healthy, hardy animals that will go forth and multiply, improving lives for countless families and children, and passing on your spirit of faith and charity over and over again to places in the world where your generosity, kindness and vision are needed most. To find out more about giving a gift to Heifer International during this holiday season, please call 877-448-6437… and say, “I want to help change the world.” 2 Cows To bring milk and income to a Russian village. 2 Sheep To help families in Arizona produce wool. 2 Camels To help families in Tanzania earn income by transporting agricultural and industrial materials. 2 Oxen To pull plows and carts in Uganda. 2 Water Buffalo To help Cambodian families increase rice production through animal draft power. 2 Pigs To enable families in Arkansas to attain greater self-reliance. 2 Beehives To help families in Albania earn money through the sale of honey and beeswax. 2 goats To help families in El Salvador provide milk for their children and earn extra income. 2 Donkeys To supply animal draft power for farmers in Kenya. 2 Trios of Ducks To help families in Ghana generate income through the sale of eggs and birds. 2 Trios of rabbits To provide food and income for families in Guatemala. 2 Trios of guinea Pigs To help families in Ecuador add protein to their diets and increase income. 2 Flocks of geese To help families in China better their nutrition and income through the production of eggs and meat. 2 Flocks of Chicks To help families in Sri Lanka improve nutrition and generate income through the sale of eggs. 2 Llamas To improve livestock bloodlines and produce wool and income for Bolivian families.

Instead, your gift supports the entire Heifer Mission. We use your gift where it can do the most good by combining it with the gifts of others to help transform entire communities. Heifer’s unique community development model assisted more than 150,000 families last year with gifts of animals, training and passing on the gift. In addition, members of more than 250,000 additional families received special training in sustainable farming techniques. Heifer International is a 501(c)(3) organization. 36 TO ORDER YOUR GIFT CALL 877-448-6437
